Description My entry for the CGtalk challenge 'spectacular', put a lot of effort into this one, was a huge self imposed test, i did the first couple of stages about a year ago, been a major opus, so i'm glad it's out the way, anyway, psCS2 no reference

accompanying text :-

'Spectacular', this word conjures up so many meanings, all of which are personal perceptions, this is mine, how in one instant, you can make a spectacular decision that affects your whole life, like some outside force, you recieve an epiphany, where a split second can seem an eternity, this is my representation of how that feels,

About the image, people take what they want out of an image, subjectivity is something I'd like to remain as much as I can, but the premise is, the central figure, chaos surrounding him, in a state of contemplation, and the message contained is how you can always, no matter what the circumstances, change your purpose or direction in life, it is this human trait that I find more spectacular than anything else.


edit, changed the arm, cheers xeophex

Fantastic job capturing an endless sea of undead/vampires/zombies/angry people or whatever they are- great use of perspective. It sort of reminds me of the cover for I Am Legend (the original cover, not the new movie cover).

This looks really cool.

The band Disturbed comes to mind for some reason, like the cover for their cd Ten Thousand Fists

This is a great piece of work. Well done.

I do have a question
Why are all these guys - thousands of them it seems - all fighting without hand-weapons, with random explosions in the background.
Not to denigrate the common-sense-onality of the pic - just seems to be a very interesting story behind it.

it's a long and boring story behind it hehe, but it's kind of like chaos just erupted quickly, no preparation for it, no weapons apart from sticks and stones and fire (and even they are sparsely found), bit of what i was feeling at the time where a lot was going on suddenly around me

This image reminded me of the SO predictable ending in The Chronicles of Riddick. I'm imagining Riddick as the enlightened one, he who is worthy of saving all men from the brink of galactic destruction! He who will stand against the wraith of the vengeful gods!
